Substance Abuse and Treatment

Methamphetamine Abuse

Recent evidence from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
indicates that abuse of methamphetamine and ecstasy, particularly
by young adults, continues to be a growing source of concern in
the United States and Eastern Europe. So-called "club drugs"
such as MDMA (Ecstasy), GHB, Rohypnol, ketamine, methamphetamine,
and LSD are currently gaining in popularity
